CLOSING ADDRESS.
The task, that, near twenty years since, was assumed by
me, is now ended; and no regret is felt for the time devoted to
it. Pleasure and duty have been equally combined. In the
result some exultation might be felt, if success rewarded dili-
gence, and proficiency had always followed patience; but in
parts of so wide a range around genealogy, as this of New Eng-
land, frequent failures ought to be anticipated, since the tri-
umphs even within the narrow space, traversed, in their long
campaigns, by Bond or Shattuck, Judd or Goodwin, proved
imperfect. Gleaners may find reward in following even their
For a partial indication of the ample assistance from modern
copious correspondence, a reference to my preface in Vol. I.
may seem sufficient; yet it appears requisite, in this valedictory
obeisance to subscribers, to desire their forgiveness for the awk-
wardness they may discover, that among the ten or twelve
thousand items of improvement in or increase upon the first
text, as herein set forth, not a few hundi-ed additions to additions
with a score or two of corrections for corrections are inter-
spersed. Of such materials the History of Watertown has
subjoined 303 pages to its first 673; and parallel to such over-
flow might always be expected in a larger work, though not in
exact proportion to its size. To exhaust the vocabulary of a
civilized nation in a living tongue would appear impossible, for
we all know, that new streams are constantly flowing into it
from sources before unknown ; and similar supplies, by analogy,
in a dictionary to set forth the origin of our families subsisting
one hundred and seventy years ago, may naturally arise. Una-

voidable omissions in these two tiiousand five liundred closely
marshalled pages ought, therefore, to be expected ; but if neither
residence nor time were given, no right to a place for a new
surname on my page would be yielded, though popular opinion
traced the pretender to a Plantagenet, or his veins swelled with
all the blood of all the Howards. Half a million, I presume, of
those incidents may be found in this work. Blanks, not above
two or three in the thousand, I believe, may remain in the myr-
iads of names of family or baptism, and, I hope, the erroneous
may only slightly outnumber the deficient.
Some notes of events and of men have been lost, probably,
though only a single instance, but of half a line, occurs to my
recollection, and this ia more cause of sorrow, than surprise,
when I remember how many hundred have been written twice,
thrice, and even four times over. To a few, who consult these
volumes, such vacancies may give no disquiet, as thereby room
was gained for a little general biography or historical criticism
in place of the multitudinous ocean of numerals, or names as
little discriminated as fortemque Gyan, fortemque Cloantlium-
But never was such occasion made, however easily found by
one who will feel pleasant surprise at a rare deviation from
predominant dulness. I have dared to express, in a very few
instances, my sense of the need of correction in old contempo-
rary statements of history, either public or private, and more
gladly to detect the modern adoption of idle traditions that
kept long out of sight, when their small value would not have
saved, the perpetuation of trifling fictions.
May not some degree of favor be extended to my departure
from the uEirrow circle of universal genealogy to snatch a few
■additional lines for some and sentences for others bearing prom-
inent names like Beliingham, Burrows, Chauncey, Clark, Da-
venport, Dudley, Eaton, Endieott, Gofl'e, Hoar, Hopkins, Hull,
Jackson, Johnson, Leverett, Mather, Osgood, Paddy, Parker,
Phips, Pratt, Kogers, Salton stall. Scroop, Sherman, Smith,

from the time printing of the volumes began, Dee. 185H, no
day has passed without progress, except the legal holidays.
By the majority who in careless hours may turn over these
columns, the scrupulous diligence of the printer will justly be
more observed than the research of the author, who should feci
sufficient reward, if his countrymen acknowledge they have no
further claim to use of his pen after the owner's reaching so
near the age of fourscore. Still ray rejoicing should be rather,
that my service is finished, than that I have no more to do.
No slight vexation arose from defeat of my utmost vigilance
in gathering the desired additions to this immense array of
names, collected while the volumes have been passing under
the press ; but it was soothed by reflecting how many would
show no regard to the defect, and better still how liberal would
be the allowance of the few that duly weighed the excuse by
making the suffering their own. I desire the reader in

makes the mo. "gr.d. of Sir Richard S." and this H. introduc. by refer,
to " a tradif. that Harley had some N. E. blood in him, his mo. being a
gr.d. of Sir Eichard S." Kow beside that this gr.d. of Sir Kichatd S.

relative to the three judges, that found shelter at New Haven, appeals to
proof from hd.writ. in the facsimile of the death warrant of Charles and
the rec. of this deed at Hartford, for, strange as it seems, the attestation
of the deed is by the witnesses on the rec. itself as well as on the docum.
The Doctor's eye saw more than mine, and he appears almost satisf. with
the identity of the writing, as if Col. Serope were in person at H. six
yrs. and a half ail. his head was cnt off. Between 29 Jan. 1649, when

of wondei-ful capacity of belief, and the estimate of his judgment in
this matter is reduced by a mistake of the name of the other witness in
this very docum. writ. Eeeve, but by the President made Kobert Pierce.
Beside, the difference of names between the London sufferer, wh. used

capt. Edwiird Johnson, in Wonder work, Piovid. c. 26 of book ii., Ihe
most valua. of that curious voL assures us, Ihat he was " nurst up in

have no doubt of its worthless character, as several of the signatures, if
not all, are pretty evident forgeries ; and scrupulous history would be
content with the declarat. of the Earl of Warwick, whose name is the
first sign, of course, aa he was the first man in the Parliament's coramiss.
for the N. E, Planta. He (as Roger Williams wrote to John Mason of
Conn.) said that he had not sign, any such patent hef. that of 14 Mar.
" and he was sure, that chart, wh. the Mass. Englishmen pretend, had
never passed the table." In 1645 Dudley was our Gov. and we may be
sure, he had no belief in it, or he would have relied on its absolute grant
when writing to the governm. of Plymouth. He makes no refer.to it.
Endicott, the Gov. of 1644, and Winthrop, the di. ruler of 1646, 7, and
8, must despise it, aft. they knew it was denounc. as no act of the
signers in Eng. How, and by wh. this docum. was fabricat. may be a
curious question. Kot a single seal of the pretend, nine signers is attach,

either of them an intent to deceive, unlesa a false date led irresitab.
to such deduct. It was only a draft or project of a patent, it miffht be
said; but that 10 Dec. 1643 was a Sunday. A judicial blindness
seems to have attend, base or childish attempts at foi^cry in the remarka.

and this charter orpatent to X'ob E.I, of all theterrito. hothE. and W. of
Narrs^anset Bay, 10 Dec. 1643. Sic semper injdstis. A subsequent
or afl. thot. was, indeed, the contrivance of Welde in his famous issue
of "Anticoraians and Familists, fee." near. a. the same time. But such
jugglery is more fo be expect, in a controversial pamphlet, than a solemn
State docum. Rogues must always dread the sun, and sometimes the
almanac. * The w. of S. was Margaret, and he d, Sept. 1650, she surv.
* A brief note (on the firet word of ttie last senfeuce of this invalna. docnm.
" Yeonen"), by Mr. Felt, is very significant. It proves tliflt Chaucer, wh. d. 244 yrs.
bef. employ, tho term for Givea. Aft. Chancer it was not prob. naeil in many eases ;
but between the time of bloody Queen Mary, and booby King Jamea, it mast have
given way to our modem word. The use of it proves loo much by a great deai, if
intend, to indicate the issue of the deed Dee. 1643 bef. that of Mar. 1644. In those
94 days our language did not so rapid, improve ; hut near twelve times as many
months, I suppose, our genenms had supersed. tJie barbaTOiis term, at least in solemn
acts of States; and we all feel, that the right of existence ia a lai^e community
should not he sett, by a point of verbal oritidsm.
Since the foregoing was written, I have gaineci ihe benefit of the sec. Vol. of the
Hist, of K, B. and find that Dr. Pal&ey (whose inspection nothing escapes) had felt
more tlian one difficulty on this subject. Avalua. note on p. 217 states, "respect-
ing this patent," " there are some things ohseuro." He then adopts tho suggest, that
" it was prob. obt. by Welde," concur, with the presumpt. express, in the Rec. of
B. I. II. 162 ; but aggravates the palpabk fifiscure by a most reasona. conject. that it
was " without authority from Mass." Tet it would seem very odd, that a solemn
patent conveying j'urisdict. from tJie sovereign power of Eng. to tho colony of Mass.
over the whole of the present State of R. I. should be solicit, by a private man for
her without any commiss. thereunto. Next, the acumen of the historian observes,
that " "Williams's patent conflicts with it ; and we are left without informat. aa tj)
the canse wh. could have led to sack an iitcansistenci/ on the part of the CommissnTS."

and was dism. with others fi-om the ch. at W. 29 May 1635, says Bone!,
to form a new one on the Conn. riv. tho. we read in the Magn. " not
many ivks. at W. bef. he rem. npon mature adv. unto New Haven."
Now instead of not many whs. we know New Haven was not sett, until
more than four yi-a. after he arr. at W, Such is the perpetual laxity of
narrative in the ecclesiast histori. of K. E. Beside this, it was not to
New Haven that he first went, but to Hartfoi'd and Wethersfleld, where
the attractions of Hooker or Smith were strong eno. and at the latter he
obt. gr. of a house lot alongside of that giv. by Rev. Henry Smith to
his s. Samuel. Prob. no work in the ch. was early desu-. or at least
gain, for he was releaa. from serv. of watch and ward not until 1640 at
May sess. of Gen. Ct. Soon aft. he sold to Thomas Bunce his Wethers-
field lof, and rem. to Milford, join, the ch. there, yet acting only in civ.
life, rep. 1643, and preach, for short season in 1645 for the early days
of Branford. There he was desir. to sett, as their min. but no ch. was
then gather. By first w.'Mary (wh. d. says the ch. i-ec. at M. 8 Sept,
1644), he had, says Mather, six ch. wh. is liable to doubt (tho. we are
igno. of tlie date of ni. as well as the parents of w.) for it is not prob.
that he was m. in Eng. nor in our country bef. 1638, then 24 yrs. old.
Four ch. are ment. Mary, b. perhaps in 1639 ; Bezaleel, bapt. at M. 15
Nov. 1640, H. C. 1661 ; Daniel, 27 Mar. 1642; and Samuel, 14 Apr.
1644, wh, prob. d. soon. At New Haven he m. see. w. Mary Launce,
late in 1645, a maiden in the fam. of Gov. Eaton, and glad eno, must
she have been to escape the perpetual trouble grow, from the unhap.
temper of the w. of the Gov. full report of wh. is giv. in Appx. to the
charm. Hist. Discours. of Rev. Dr. Bacon. By her he had Samuel,
again, bapt. at N. H. 23 Aug. 1646, and next yr. he rem. to Watertown,
wh. on req. obt. his dismis. from Milford ch. 8 Nov. 1647. With more
than his usual exuberance of invent, Mather makes it " upon the d. of
Phillips" (that was in July 1644), Watertown offer, a call and he
accept, tho. he adds, " at the same time one of the chhs. at Boston used
their endeav. to bee. the owner of so well talented a person, and sev.
chhs. in London also by lett. much wiged him. to come over and help
them." If this be true (wh. is quite unlike.) for London, wo kn. it must
be false for B. since there was only one eh. many yra. later, and in that
Cotton and Wilson could wish or rec. no collea. Our sec. ch. where
Mather was all his days a min. was not gather, bef. 5 June 1650, and

ch. add. unto tJie number of sis, wh. ho had bcf." Authority for such
improb. he design, his reader should infer, I suppose, from tell, in the
begin, of the sentence, " by the d, of that Mr. Launee, tvh. is yet liv, among
us, Sherman had no less than, &c." To this fable full credit" was long
giv. bee. it obt. the sober sanction of Hutch. I. 19, a relative of Mather,
more than once misled by him. But in our day, a descend, of Sherman
by this w. aft. bestow, large investigat, with adequate critical skUl, puts
the result, 1851, with "special wonder" in Geneal. Reg. V. 307, as not
" eslabl. the Darcy lineage." The writer refers to aa emin. Eng. anti-
quary, wh. had been veiy slow to reject the tale even of Mather, or to
distrust so judicious an auth. as Hutch, but pursu. the inq. long, and
wrote me tlie issue, three yrs. later, "aft. all the attent. I have paid to
Mr. Wiilard's point, there is no satisfacto. eonclus. an", atj and I am
jnelin. to tliink, that there was real, no particle of truth in the report wh.
Mather had receiv. and has giv. circul. to." Equal distrust is more '
natur. felt a. the number of ch. that led our eeelesiast. hist, to dilate in
eight and twenty lines on " such a Polytolde," as he tersely or foolishly
calls it. Suspicion arises from this fact, that exactly one less than half
of the twenty-six ch. giv. to both ws. have never found a name either in
ree. or benevol. tradit. See Bond, 432. Tet one more, Benjamin, was
prob. lost from the rec. (by wearing out the paper) of b. 23 Apr. 1661,
and d. 14 Oct, 1662, By the sec. w. wh. long outliv. him, d. 9 Mar.
1710, we see, then, ten ch. or at most eleven, instead of twenty, were b.
and whence could the error arise ? Aft, the b. of the first ch. the f. was
always at Watertown, there as min, he would make rec, of bapt. of his
own, as well aa of others; but the rec. is lost, and we have to seek in
town rec. for entry of births ; and fortunate, his cous, of the same name
was many yre. the elk. Five only are thus found, Abigail, 3 Feb. 1648;
Joanna, 3 Sept. 1652; Mary, 5 Mar. 1657; Grace, 10 Mar. 1659;
and John, 17 Mar. 1660 ; but with more or less confidence, beside Ben-
jamin, five more can be read in Bond (tho. tie first two are count, by
him as of firat w.), James, bef. ment. Abiah, Eliz. Esther, and Mercy.
Sometimes I have suspect, that the ch. of both contempo. Johns were
counL for one by the informant of Mather, and very exact is the rec. of
seven of capt. John, part. bef. part. aft. he bee. elk. and so by ofBce
bound to kn. bs. ds. and ms. No weight can be denied to Such surmise
from the fact of differ, names of the ws. of Rev, John and capt John,
for the prefix of respect in h. is less likely to be omit, than the bapt
name in w. With all his assidu. Bond could not satisfy hiras. How
Mather got this story of the fruitful vine, conject. would be various, if
anyways reasona. The eldest d. of this sec. w. could not have told it to

playing on his bottomless credulity. More prob. however, seems this

copy of the will of liis br. Edward, that sheds some light on our side of

Egbert, Boston, had John, bapt. 28 May 1648, "a. six wka. old," says
the eh, rec, but tho. the ancient copj/ calls him "s. of our br. Robert S."
I feel compeil, aft. long investigat. to say, that it seems to be a mistake,
inasmuch as there was no br, Robert S. of our ch. nor does the town rec.
give any such person. To be sure the ch. and town rec. in the orig. for
many early yrs. are both lost, and the copies are of various value ; that
of the ch. very far superior to the town copy, especially as gaps in 1647,
8, and 9 are num. Now, since the name of f. is not seen in any time
bef. nor for a long success, of yrs. aft. if ever, my conject. is, that John,
the ch. bapt. on that day, was s. of Henry, and d. soon. That this may
not appear too hazardous a guess, I beg the student of our early manners
to obs. that Henry had brot to bapt. his three ch, in a short time aft.
their sev. births ; but of six succeed ch no one w« brot up to the font
bef. the fifth day aft. b. of a seventli, and then the lec his this stiange

for omission of such ordinance in the six cases, la, tliat the f was too
much impress, with the d, of hi^ s John If in opposit to this conjeot
it be suggest, that Henry had denv piejudice against the ceremony of
inf. bapt. the inq. natural, springs up, if his conscient sciuple testram

foil, may be thot. the gent, wh, with Ludlow, Pynchon, and others, was
commis. in Mar. 1636 by Mass, to govern the first sett, on Conn, and
act. at Hartfoi-d 1638. See Mass. Col. Kee. L 170, with Conn. Col.
Eee. I. 17 ; but whether be was or not, the Eev. Heret, first min. of
Wethorsfield, I cannot confidently decide. On the whole, I conclude,
since Mather pnta the "Weihersfleld min. into his first classis (as of those,
in the actual exercise of their min. bef. they left Eng.), that this man
was only in civ. life, for he is not dignif. with the prefix Mr. and would
never seem to be looked on as cleric, in Mass., and prob. the min. of
Wetbersfield came not for five, or even sis, yrs. more. See Winth's. letter
of June 1636 to bis s. John, Gov. of the new planta. in Hist. I. Appx. A.

sib. bef. they, any of tliem, came fi-om Eng, to confound the two, if there
were not three (wh. seems improb.) Henry Smiths. I design always to
put the names in the order of their com, to our country, so that Rev.
Henry, tbo. older, must follow the Springfield man. Felt has, in his
Eccles. Hist of N. E. 253, made the min. wh. was receiv. of the ch. of
Charlestown in midsum. of 1637, one of the commission to govern the
Conn, planta. in 1636, with Ludlow, Steele, Pynchon and others, when
we may feel sure, that it was Pyncbon's s. in law wh. had that honor ; aa
also, that the Wetbersfield min. was at the date of 1636 in his native
land, bad Ann, and Mary, wh. were b. bef. bis rem, the latter, bur. at S.

He seems to be as well entit. as the Wateilown Henry, (o be thot. the

Dorchester Henry is the same as lie, wh. Fai-mer in MS- had thot. of
Watertown, and by his two lines drove me to many wks. research, I
have the gratification of ascertain, from Dr. Bond's untir. investigat.
that at Watertown was no Henry Smith at all. Henry, Charlcstown, join,
the cli. with w. Dorothy, lU July 1G.57, prob. rem, soon. He may have been
passeng. in the Elizabeth, 1635, without wishing his name to appear at
the custom ho. as no niin. could be suf. to emb. at least we kn. that ship
brot. Dorothy, aged 45 ; d. Mary 15, and John, 12 ; most likely he was
the Wethersfield min. Very ci-itical caution, however, ia requisite, about

without nam. (hem, to two ds. m. Of course they were b. in Eng, It
also names s. Peregrine, wh. may not bave beeu b. on this side of tlie

or not, is uncert. Of that Dorothy, the w. we may be very sure, that
she ivas his sec w. not mo. of Mary, or John, fellow passeng. with her.
For the elder ds. we are not sure of the h.'s, unless of Rebecca we judge
her w. of Samuel Smith of New London. See Cawlkin's Hist, of N. L.
151. She was divorc. for his desertion, and m. IG69, Nathaniel Bow-
man. At least the age of this w. at Cliarleslown, if she be the passeng.
in the Elizabeth, is very much overrat. perliaps fifteen yrs. if not more ;

Samuel, 27 Jan. 163a ; Joanna, 25 Dec. 1641; Noah, 25 Feb. 1644, d.

whole commonwealth was disturb. See Trumbull, Col. Kec. I. 97 and

humble, long estab. there, so would not prob. draw hia blood from

may be deriv. from wise use of a few words in the note of Mr. Hun-
ter, on pp. 6 and 7 of "The founders of New Plymouth," Ed. 1854:
" mere possess, of a surname wh. coincides with that of an Eiig. fam, is
no proof of connex. with that fam. Claims of alliance found, on this
basis are not the legitimate olfspring of laborious genealog. inquiry, but
of self-love and the desire to fonnd a reputa. for ancestorial honor
where no such honor is really due." Well is the topic explain, in
further remarks, found, on experience of more than one gross case of
indecent pretension.

mouth, came with w. and a d. in the Ann 1 623, but the names, Ann, and
Mercy, are all that are giv. in 1627, at the div. of cattle, so that it is
infer, that he left other ch. abroad, perhaps had John, or more b. here ;
and at P. was tax. 1633 and 4, but aft, was of Duxbury. He was liv.
in 1666, as Winsor says, and he names the ch. John, Ann, Mary, and
Mertsy. This last, he tells, m. 9 Nov. 1637, William Tubbs ; and one
of the others m. Robert Lawrence; but I kn. no such man, and casually
turn, (three yrs. aft. writ, this maledict.) from p. 317 to 275, of Winsor,

the s. of William of Hinghara to be the counsellor. Judge Mitchell

William, Ebenezer, Eliz., Hannah, Milicent, and Persis. John, Mai-

Sarah, 23 Apr. 1686; Joanna, 17 Apr. 1688; and Abigail, 2 Mar.

man of the same name in that town. He took the o. of fldel. 15 Dec.
1674, and was rep. 1689 and 90. Phineas, Maiden, prob. s. of the first
John, by w. Eliz. had Eliz. b. 11 Oct. 1691 ; Mary, 15 Oct. 1693 ; TaV
itha, 19 Oct. 1696; and I find nothing more of him. * [| Ralph,
Charlestown 1629, came prob. with w. Joan, and s. John and Richard,
that yr. in the fleet with Higginson, certain, with brs. Richard, and prob.
William. They were s. of Edward prob. of Upway in Devonshire.
Sometimes it has been thot. that these gent, were passeug. in 1628, with
Endicott, but to me it seems more likely that, as they came, paying their
own chai-ges, they were in the fleet of 1620. With Endicott, in the
Abigail, beside his fam. and serv. there were not, I suppose, over twenty,
includ. men, women, and ch. and most of them sent by the adventurers
in London, as the _frst sh. for the pli^nta. would naturally be occup. in
transport, of persons wh. they should wholly control. The much larger
exped. atl. gr. of the chart, in 1629 had, also, wider views of policy, and
in obedience to the direct, of the officers of the comp. at home the
Spragues, wh. came at their own charge, were sent by Endicott to take
up the lands at C. but we kn. that the compiler of the Cbarlestown rec.
threw back his narra. of early transact, by one yr. mak. Winth. and the
gr. body of our early sett, come in 1629. As the Spragues came one

date 1628, and on the same premises our confidence reposes, that the true
yr. was 1629. He had w. Joan, and the Nos. of hims, and her od our ch.
list are 102 and 3. He had Samuel, bapt. 3 June 1632, hut he may
have been b. many mos. for this was the sixth ch. nam. in our list, and
the rite had not been perform, since Nov. 1630, by reason of the abs. of
Wilson the pastor, wh. came back from Eng. the wk. bef. this bapt. He
and his w. were of the 3d, wh. had desir. dismiss, from the eongr. of Boston
"to enter into a new ch. body at C." and were dismiss. 14 Oct. 1632 ;
and his d. Mary was bapt. 14 Sept. 1634; s. Phineas, 31 July 1637.
He had sprung, I imagine, from Dorsetsh. and own. Ids. in Upway of
that Co. as by let. of 25 Mar. 1651 from his f.-in-law, John Corbin, at
that parish, appears. On 19 Oct. 1630 he req. adm. and 18 May foil,

days he liv. on Mistick side, or Maiden, for his name is in a commiss. to
sett, bounds there, and he d. Nov. 1650, and bis s. Jonathan next mo.
and the name of his wid. is the sec. on the women's memo, to the Geo.
Ct. 1651 in favor of Matthews; and she may have m. eleven yrs. later

for the wills of hims. and of Lis w. give the names of Stukely, Joseph,
and John, beside ds. Francis Congdon, Eliz. Case, Margaret Place,
and Sarah Smith. J * Samuel, Warwick, s. of Thomas of the same,
m, Mercy, d. of Stnkely Weatcott ; had, as in Friend's rec. at Newport
is seen, Stukely, b. 7 Nov. 1661 ; Amos, 8 Nov. 1665 ; Mercy, 8 July
1668 ; Sarah, 18 Apr. 1671 ; and SaiUHel, 19 Nov. 1673 ; but other ch.
he had, as nam. in his will, where the first, third, and fifth of that rec.
are not seen, leav. us the right of conject, that those were d, bef. him.
Substitutes for them appear in Thomas, the youngest, Patience, w, of
Howland, Freelove, w. of Tillinghast, and Eliz. w. of Devotion. Amos
is call, the eldest s. and Sarah, eldest d. nam. Scranton. Gr. eli. too, are
found, Mercy Thurbar, and Mary Stafford, claim, the testator's regard.
He was oft. rep. in 1674 was chos. an Assist, and d. 20 Mar. 1718, aged
82. Thomas, Newport or Portsmouth 1638, said to have been b. 1605,
and to have corae to Plymouth 1626, and to have built there the first
mil] for grind, corn by wafer, but this seems very loose rep. and the Col.
rec. that refer to the first mill aft. June 1635, do not ment. him. He
is found at Warwick 1652, among the freem, there 1655, rem. I presume
to Conn, whose Gen, Ct. gr. him, 1674, fifty acres; but he had been at
New London as early as 1662, and was at W. to end his days 1677.
He made his will 4 Nov. 1677, and d. soon aft. had Sarah, wh. m. 13
July 1667, and Deborah, wh. m. 9 June 1670, both to Amos Westcott ;
Samuel ; and Joseph. His will names w. Eliz. eldest s. Thomas, and d.
Hannah, w. of Luke Bromley, beside the others. Claim was assert, by
him to be " of the blood of the Siafford," but of wh. Stafford is less clear,
and prob. unimport. tho. he perhaps had a coat of arms. Thomas,
Warwick, s. of the preced. m. 28 Dec. 1671, Jane Dodge, had Thomas,
and William, but no dates are told, either of their or his own b. nor can
the f. of w. be trae.
Stagpole, James, Dover, had a gr. as Mr, Quint tells, 169i, but he
says that he was b. 1653, meaning, I suppose, in Eng. Possib. this
name has become Sfackpole.

of Conn. 1640, had come irom Londou, where he was a carpenter,
early in the yr. preced. aged 35, in the Christian, and sat down short
time at Dorchester. Prob. he was s, of Thomas of Milbrook, near
Ampthill in Co. Bedford, bapt. 1 Aug. 1602, wh. makes «s presume,
that the age of the London rec. should be 33, as the reg. of the pariah,
certif, to me by the min. in 1842, deserves much higher credit tlian that
of tiie custom ho. I presume he broL w. Eachel, unless she was sis. aged
28, but two ws. and two ch. beside the four brs. in the same sh. are
diffic. to be appropr. Cothren, p. 694, makes him, from fam. tradit. to be
engag. in prepar. of a park for Richard Saltonstall, not Sir Richard, wh.
is a mistake, for Suffk. reg. of deeds. Vol. I. 98, has the release of all'
demands by him up to date of Sept. 1647, as well against Sir Richard,
as s. Robert He work. I suppose under dii-ect. of Robert, wh. was less:
judicious than his elder br. He made over to Robert SaltonstaD, by
deed dat. 22 Sept. 1647 all his Ids. at W. inolud. 1500 acr. in one parcel'
on the E. side of the riv. but the debt exceed the val. He then calls,
hims. of Saybrook, yet bee. three of his four s. were aft. at Stratford.

Cothren tells, that he rem. a. 1 640 to Stratford, wh. must be sev. jra.

esagger. than usual, not more than three yrs, too large. Isaac, Strat-
ford, s. of John the first, of Windsor, liv. first at Wethersfield 1665, and

The chronology of too many of the fourteen cli. belong, lo John, is so
sti-angely confus. in Cofliren, 697, that il defies reitorat. John, Box-
ford, fi'eem. 1690, may have been s. of Kobert of the same. John,
Dorchester 1692, perhaps was s. of Robert of the same ; but certain,
is beyond reach, and all that can be kn. is, that his w. wa^ Blary, that he
Lad John, Joseph, Eliz. Mary, Nathaniel, and Nehemiah, of wh. Joseph,
Mary, and Nathaniel d. of smallpox in the fatal season of Jan. 1721-2.
Robert, Boxford, m. 4 Oct. 1660, Eliz. d. of Joliu Frj'e of Andoverj
was of Rowley 1661, but perhaps rem. to Dorchester, where I find one
of this name 1663, yet in my opin. this Dorchester man was older than
him of B. poRsib, but not proh. was s. of John the first ; and insci-ipt. on
gr. stone is of his d. 2 Nov. 1710, and age, a. 91, Ihat may seem some-
thing too high. Samuel, Stratford, br. of Benjamin, in the freem.'s list
of 1669, m. 31 Dec. 1664, says CotUren, Eliz. Sherwood, but d. child-
less, prob. bef. 1682, as in 1673 he had agreed with others to begin the
sett, of Woodbury, and was not in tlie list of 1682. Thomas, youngest
br. of Francis, Heniy, and John, came in tlie same ship with them, aged
20, says the custom ho. rec. hut that of his bapt. 7 Feb. 1613, in the
native parish, would give him two yrs. more. Yet il would be of higher
intere-'^t, to kn. where he liv. on our side of the water, and what could
be told of him, beyond the single fact, that, at the assault on the Pequods
in iheir last shelier of the swamp, 1 637, he was shot, but not hurt, by an
arrow strik. in his neckerchief. See Blazon's Hist, of that war. He
may have been of Windsor, but it is at least equal, prob. that he was of
Dorchester, neither town hav. proof or presumpt. in its favor. Had he

functions of legislat., judicial, and executive authority ; and in exeeut.

She may have come betw. Mary and Hannah. On the bigh authority
of Dr. Allen I can find but sixteen ch. beside the inf. wh. d. He was,
very likely, b. at Taunton in Co. Somerset, and his f. may have been
Richard, and his sis. Elinor may have been w. of Walter Dean ; but
that be ever Hv. at Dorchester is highly improb. for Harris, or any more
search, inquirer has not fotimJ his name there, bef. or aft. 1638, exc.
once as witness to a deed, wh. may have been writ, at Hingham ; and it
is hardly to be believ. that the same w. wh. bore the two ch. at N. had
been taken at D. in 1630. That lie was indeed ever resid. at D. aft.
1638, can be surmis. from the trifling incident only, that John Hill was
m. at Boston 16 Jan. 1657 to Eliz. Strong by Humphrey Atherton, the
Assist, wh. was a Dorchester man. Nor is it more prob. as the tradit.
oruamenta the story, that he came from Eng. with Warham or accomp.
him in 1636 to W. Hitchcoei, Parsons, Cothren, GeneaL Reg. YIH.
180, and Emery too easily adm. such relat. in my opin. that relies on
the powerful contempo. silence of his br.-in-law, Roger Clap, wh. did
come in that sh. and m. a d. of his fellow passeng. Thomas Ford. For
the modern origin of these improb. tradit. I presume that, as the anccst.
was at Windsor, within twelve yrs. of its aeltlem. and a s. of his m. a
Warham, and as Ford rem. with W. to Windsor the story spread grad.
that he had come from Eng. to Dorchester, with W. and accomp. him to
his next home in Conn, but the reporters did not consider two points,
that many people were of Dorchester, wh. did not come with Warhara,
and many of Windsor, wh. did not come from Dorchester. In McClure's
aeco. of sett, of Windsor, writ, in 1707, pr. 1 Mass. Hist. CoU. V. 167,

Morrice from Boston, Aug. 1661, about the re^cides, Whalley and Goffe,
with a very curious one from Kev. John Davenport, on the same subject,
addresaedrto Temple. The clerg. beats the courtier on that topic; but
allowance is to be made for tlie cause, inasmuch as Temple was sincere,
we may well suppose, and be more sure that Davenport was not. He
thought a little equivocation justifiable for the glory of God, and safety
of the proscribed. A pleasant anecdote is relat. by Hutchinson of T.'s
persuad. the king, that the pine free on the coin struck in Boston, was
the i-oyal oak tliat saved his majesty. I doubt not, this is as near the
truth as tradit, oft, reaches ; perhaps it was uttered by the traveller to
our friend the Earl of Manchester, or even to the Earl of Clarendon,
whose well-fried loyalty quarrelled not with discretion ; and in the way
of trifling not uncommon in that court, may possib. tho. I think not, have
got up to the throne. If the merry monarch bad been ill-natured eno,
to ask what the date, 1652, meant. Sir Thomas must have had awk-
ward sensations. He d, in London, 27 Mar. 1674,. bad left at B. a will

That he must have been highly regard, at W. and not thro, the partiality
of a few hearers, wh. rememb. the powers of his uncle half a century bef.
la a reasonab. presumpt. and why many should have desir. him is easier
to conjeot. than the reason for the bitter and most indecent repugnance
to his installat. that any of the petty squabbles a. the introd. of a min. in
any parish of N. E. have produced. Four, five, or six publicat. on the
two sides, may be preserv. by the curious for this eventful yr. 1720, on'

Humbly I would inq. if Mr. Trumbull, in the Index, making the name
Tibbots or Tibbets, had high authority for the spelling, or had followed
the similarity of Henry Tibbete in N. H. adher. to the Mass. jurisdict.
I submit the conject. that the true spell, was Lippet; yet with so much
less confidence, as the Wickford man's name is found by Judd to be
Tipler.

body of Peter Fitchew, wilful, drown, and next yr, on tlie more import,
jury for trial of Hugh Bewett for heresy. He had no ch. prob. but his w.
is, I suppose, meant in two letters of our first Gov. Winth. to his s. John,
Nov. 1646, mention that his s. Wait was with sis. T. That phrase led
Farmer to write of Eichai-d T. "perhaps br.-in-law of Gov. Winthrop."
By similai- misunderstand, of the word sis. the descend, of Samuel
Symonds suppos. they were of the same blood of John Winth. of Conn,

Eliz. wid. of George Woodward, d. of Thomas Hammond of Watertown ;
and a thii-d w. Mary is nam. in his will. He d. says Jackson, 2 Mar.
1695', in 49lli yr, wh. makes me concur with the diligent and judicious
author of the Hist, of N. in suppos. fho. ign. of the name of his f. that he
was b. in our country. Under this name, Faimer had includ. John and
John jr. of Kitfery 1652 ; but I follow the rec. in spell, them Twisdale.

John, Cambridge J636, said to have come from Newcastle on Tyne, was
fin. £20 at the court, Mar. 1637, but for some cause so slight that it
might have found lighter censure, as in June loll, three quarters of the
penalty were taken off, and, at the general show of similar favor in 1 638,
£i more were remit. Perhaps he is the sec. freem. of this name IS

1638; John, 4 Aug. 1641; Hannah, 10 Dec. 1642; rem. to Charles-
town, there had Mary, 3, but ano. rec. says 9 Feb. 1 645 ; besides that on
Cambridge rec. comes, also, James, 7 Dec. 1647. He ivas eapt. of a
trading vessel, and may have been the man in the Col. Eec of Conn. I.
162, willing to accept Matthew Griswold's oath to his demand in 1648,
and prob. the one meaat by Davenport in Epist. to Gov. Winth.
1655, as bring, him letters from Eng. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. X. 7.

incivility by caiT, Lord Ley with him over to dine with Samuel Maver-
ick at Noddle's Isl, However, early next mo. he went home, and ever
after stood the friend of our people. He was among the chief men in
the great civil war, and too conscientious or too ambitious to comply
with Cromwell, wh. secur. him ia prison as he did so many otheis of the
republican party j yet one of the few after the death of the protector, wh
did not feel the necessity of the restorat. of the monarchy, foi wh he wis
turned out of the ho. as one wh. had not been constant to parliament
privileges. Maidstone, a sincere commonwealth's man, in his lettei to
Winth. writ, but a few weeks bef. the universal outbi'eak of enthuaiiim
for Charles II. explains the pleasure of the people at this di'houoi to
Vane, by add. that he was " unhappy in lying under the most catkohcl
prejudice of any man I know." See 8 Mass. Hist. ColL 1. 196 Being
exempt from the gen. pardon in the Act of indemnity, that may well
seem bad policy, he was execut. 14 June 1662, after a conviction wh. did
not benefit the royal cause, so much as it exalt, the suffer. Nothing in
life became him like the losing of it. How faithful adher. to principle

from Mass. policy, especially after the triumph of the latitudinarians at

the ignorance that represents this fam. as coming in the reign of James

to the opposite of a common error, that unduly magnifies ancient renown.

was abused, as is seen in the Hist, of Sewel, Loud. 4to ed. p. 330. Of

28 Dec. 1650, for it was taken 22 Jan. foU. and perhaps the d. of Oct

whether the yrs. of his age in the town rec. be not far too high, if he be

four miles (and Weld liv. only two miles off), is by the Hist, of Boston
held for proof, that Winth, not Welde, was the author, as " two men
without close confer, could not have writ, things so exactly coinciding."
See Drake, 218. Ano. proof of the same nature is brot. forward by a

ten in a very different style from the apology, and evident, a continua.
from near the bottom of p. 43, and now reaching to the end of the little
vol. on p. 66. What ^ves the chief value to this humble 4fo. however,
is the Preface, signed T. Welde, in small Eom. cap. for the earlier copies,
in small Italic, not cap. in the later. It flila sixteen pages of small type,
and is written with great spirit. Equal in pungency to the style of this
preface, is that of the conclusions in the last seven pages. Such pun-
gency, using a mild term to express what in the writing of any but a
clergym. seems malignity, ia not seen in any other writer on that subj.
But bef. the Preface is print, a remarkab. address " To the Reader." " I
meeting with this Book, newly come forth of the press, and being earn-
estly pressed by divers to perfect it, by laying down the order and sense
of this story (wh. in the Book is omit.) tho. for mine own part, I was
more slow unto it ; not as if I think it contains any thing but truth, but
because the names of some parties that acted in our troubles, that have,
since that time {I hope) repented, and so God having pardon, their sins
in Heaven, I should have been loth to have reviv. them on earth. But
cousideiing that theii names are already in Ptint, without any act of
mine, and that the necessity ot the times call tor it, and its requisite that
God a great woiks should be made known, I therefore, in a straight of

that Mr. Petei-s and Mr, Weld " having been long absent, may under-
stand the Ct.'s mind, that they desire fbeir presence here, and speedy
return." On this ungracious invit. neither came, but ea. gain, distinct, in
the mother land. Weld obt. a living at St. Mary Gateshead, Co. Dur-
ham, and d. says the rec of Eoxbury ch. (not likely in such a case to be
wrong), 23 Mai-. 1661 ; I ihinfc it is said, at London. This was soon
aft. the Eesloi-at. of the k. and bef, the great ejeetm.
Perhaps I may be excus. for a long expknat. as to what is said in my
sec. ed. of Winthrop in a note on 1. 248, publish. 1853. Having never
bef. 1842, heard any doubts of the agency of Weld in the publicat. of
that interest, little volume of wh. everybody knew he aeknowledg. the
preface and conclusion, and my suspicion being excited, at the Britisli
Museum, by the unexpL address to the Reader, that suspicion in 1843,
was express, by me in a singk line of my Gleanings in 3 Mass. Hist.
Coll. Vin. 285. Attention was thus drawn to the matter, and it was
supposed by some that in Baylie's " Dissuasive from the Errours of the
Time," London 1646, and Cotton's "Way of Congrcga. Chhs. cleared,"

London 1648, wh. had a reply to some of Baylie'a aspersions, it might
appear, that Gov. Winth. was as much eiigag. as Weld in the pnblicat.
of Short Story of the Eise, Reign, and Kuin. A friend lent me these
two works, and they did not produce on me the impress, some persons
receiv. perhaps without close examiaat. For instance, in Ecclesiast, Hist,
of N. E. I. 329, Mr. Felt observes on my suppos. that Welde compos,
and arrang. the greater part of the work so publish, and that Gov. W.
was auth. of the rest, entit. a Brief Apology, &e. and adds, " But it is
clear from Baylies and Cotton, that Winth. did write " The Book " as
stated hy Weld "to the Reader." Now each of the three parts of this
affirmat. is wrong. Weld hims. does not state " that Winth. did write
the Book," wh. is too bold and direct assert, for the crafty writer of that
addr. wh. does nothing more than suggest that somebody beside T. W.
was the writer or editor. Baylies, p. 57, in strong desire to censure
Cotton for his farailism and antinom. relies upon " the witness of Master
Winth. the wisest of all the JST. E. Governors hitherto, and of Master
Wells, a gracious minister of that land in their printed Relations of the
Schisms there;" and he proceeds to cite passages equally from the
Preface or conclusion, as well as from the Proceedings or the Apology,
a dozen or twenty from each, but a diligent, not a mperjicial scrutiny
through his quotations will ^ve a gi-eat preponderance to those ack-
nowledg. to be Weld's. On p. C4 also, Mr. Felt refers to Winth.'s
Narration, but in the very last line preced. refers to this work as the
testimony also of Weld. In defence of hims. Cotton follows Baylie
very closely, quoting the exact phrases of his antagon. and so, p. 56,
refers to " the witness of Winth. and Wells," not even correct, the spell,
of his name. On p. 57 citing from B. the "testimony from the Court,
wh. (it is likely) was deliv. by Mr. Winth. being then Gov. [as in]
p. S5 of the Short Story," &c so that the weight of his evidence is, to
the least scruple or even grain, of the same weight, and no more, with
Baylie's, to prove in Mr. Felt's words "that Winth, did write the
Book." Proh. Mr, Felt had not, when he compos, that passage,
examin. those authors, or, at least. Ins survey was cursory, for in lb.
534, speaking of the publicat. of this pamphlet in 1644, he uses similar
words : " Its preface was by Mr. Weld, and the rest of it by Gov. W."
■overlook, the acknowledgm. of Weld, that the conclusion, wh. even
slight observ. must make seven pages, was by him. Writing of the end
of Weld's life, Mr. Felt uses more precision, p. 436. " He was engag.
with Gov. W. sen, in prepar. the Eise, Reign, and Euin," &c. in N. E.
Yet what Gov. W. contrib. was in Mar. 1636-7, the Apology and per-
haps part of the Proceeding^ in Nov, 1637, publ. in Boston as much as
in London, but mot print, in either, while Weld was the publisher, hy

his own confess, ovemil. tlie London press in 1644, so tliat iny expres-
sion, as he fairly gives it on his p. 329, may stand unreprov. Beside,
Mr. Felt candidly, p. 554, takes notice, that "Wheelwright, s. of Rev.
Jolin " endeavors to show from the concessions of Weld, that his f. did
not adopt the main principles of his sis.-in-Iaw, Mrs. H." and he still
more fairly quotes a let. of 1647, from Hooker of Hartford to Shepai-d
of Cambridge, hoth of wh. must have kn. what the trutli, and the whole
trutli was a. the publicat. "I cannot be persuad. but these men" [the
Scotch Presbyterians, Kutherford and Baylie] had a seckbt hand to
PKOvoKB Me. Weld to set forth his Short Story," &c.
Certain. Weld's desire was not to be thot. author of the " Short Story,"
&c. and he would gladly have the reader presume that Gov. WintJi.
whose name belongs to part of the official documenta. matter therein
print, had issued the vol. tho. any careful student could detect the most
of fie pages due to ano. hand. The assist, librar. at Harv. TJniv.
drew mj attention to the vol. of Rutherford, professor at St. Andrews,
calL Survey of Spiritual Antichrist, London 1648, p. 171, where he
says of our N. E. heretics, « They held these wicked tenets especially,
that follow, as may be gathered out of the story of the Eiae, Eeign, and
Euin of the Antinomians and Libertines that infected the Chhs. of N.
E. penned (as / am infoi-med) by M. Winthrope, Gov. a faithful wit-
ness, and approv. by M. T. Weld in his preface to the book." This ia
in c XV. yet in the next c. p. JSO, he twice names Weld as author of
that work, as in tlie first sentence of the same c. p. 176, of Mrs. Hutch-
inson, one of the authoi-s of the " wicked opinions," he borrows the
happy designaf. of our Eoxbury historian, saying " This woman is call,
the American Jezabel," How E was infoi med that Gov W penned the
work, may easily be conceiv. foi m hi'; sev journeys from &t Andrews
to London, and back, his road lay straight thio Gateshead opposite
Newcastle, wh. was Weld's resid So high was his esfiniat of the vol
that in the sec pL of E.'a work it lo cit hardly le«a than thiee 1 undred
times, always by the tit. of Ei e Eeij,n and Eum It must be kept
constant, in mind, that Eutherforl ind Euhe we e of the foui gieit

Being sharp, reprov. in the Geneal. Eeg. VIIL 84, for what in my

Weld to conceal his first connex. with this work, I may be permit, in

"the authorshijt " of Short Stury is made the matter of controversy, and
that man of straw is put forward, wh. may be left to the critic ; for my
chief inq, waa confin. to the publicat. or editoi-ship; having only in a
siDgle instance named Weld as author of Eise, Keign, and Euin, and
then in note on Vol. I. 258, in the closest relation to a passage from the
preface, signed by hims. and the very last words of the couclnsion on p.
66. So that the differ, betw. the critic and myself is vei-y slight, as to
material passages by me ascrib. to Weld, " beyond what he has hims.
AOKNOWLEDG." In the further opin. of the same writer "that what-
ever Mr. Weld did, he did under the direction or by the adv. of the
dominant party here," all may readi. agree. A little outbreak of bit-
terness in the Preface, or in the " additions to the conclusion of the
Book," may seem very natural in that age ; and ia the larger report of
the case of Mrs H in Hutch Hist. 11. 482-520, wh. should be read by
every one that d t k w the full extent of the tyranny, we easily
discern, how eag n tl p Pcut. were Dudley, the Dept.-Gov. wh.
was of Weld's h at E xl y, Endicott, Bartholomew, and Nowell, of
the laity, as, of th 1 g Symines, fellow-passeng. with her, Shepard and

one could be misled by my woi-ds, as if I asserted that Weld, more than
Peters or anybody else, wrote the petition in favor of Wheelwright, or
the Apologi/, or the Proceedings of the Court in the larger part, or the
popular report of poor Mre. Dyei-'e affliction. He is responsible, as
Editor, for all but the strictly official docum. Now without intend, any
invidious allegat. as to a single word in the vol. "beyond what he has
hims. acknowi." I renew my remark, that he bears the responsib. for all
exc. from p. 46 to the thii-d line of p. 59 iuclus. bee. it waa print, under
his direct, and most of it ia evident, his own composit.
The friend, wh. the critic says pointed out my error, was, yrs. ago,
satisfied that I had good grounds for my opinion. The diligent assist,
librar. of Harv. Coll. in his MS. on the reverse of the title-page of
"Aatinomians and Familists condemned," had noted, that it was the
same work with Weld's Short Stoiy, and infer, that it was an earlier
impression, because Short Story gain, the I^fote to the Header and the
Preface ; and he then adds (without hesitat.) from that address, tiat it
appears, Thomas Welde " was not the author of what is contained in the
present vol." His caution was not excit. by the admiss, of Weld hims.
as to the " additions to the conclusion of the book," and he believ. what
the rev. casuist cunning (fes*V. rather than what he said. My suggestion
that this title-page was a sneaking device to give support to the false
implicat. in the Note to the Reader, is by the Geneal. Reg. critic sub-

and unusual state of things. The first result is from collation by Mr.
LiTermore of the copy in College Libr. of " Anfinoniians and Familista,"
with the Athenseum copy of the " Short Story," and he assures me tliat
it is apparent that from p. 1 to 66, where the Athenaium copy breaks
off, the con-espondence ia perfect in every letter, typographical error
or not, as 1. 6 on p. 46 spread has the let. r pushed out of its place, bo
that the lower ia aa high as the upper part of the letters on either side ; —

teen or eighteen pages of prefatory matter, so begins with signat. B. the

on first sight observ. that the Preface had been suj piessed, and thit the
title-page was print, from the same form as Sloit Sfoiy substituting
other words, for all above the imprint. Indeed, to suppose it possib that
the work, without the preface, was issued first, is veiy like the expectat
of seeing the second story of an edifice sustain itself m the iii befoie
the first is built for its support. The forms are identical the omaments
unchanged, as on the title-pages of both a border of twenly-one types or
beads runs by the sides, nineteen more at the toj and eighteen at the
hot.; and no letters were distrib. from the form to the case hetw the
strikings ofi' for one and the other through the whole Tet so widely
difi'er the title-pt^es, that one would judge instintly that yeirs might
interven. betw, them, one showing only forty-one words the othei one

lines disproves the whole cunning of tie change, foi theie exactly is m
the body of the two books, all the letters, and figure^ and impeifections
and punctuation, and errors, were immovable. The woids a! (e the
imprint in one are removed from the other, at 1 ne v one inserted
except the very large letters of the single word NEW-ENGLAND
running wholly across the wide page, some of wh. the keen eye of my
young friend, W. H. Whitmore, detected as unmoved ; and a Jess pi-ac-
tised vision would instantly perceive, when directed to it, how the first E

enormity of the fii-st M might prove it to be the only one of the kind in

among tlift earliest taken off from the standing form, is a well looking,
perfect capital, but in two other copies appears to have its face batterec!,
as if it had been in irregvhr company, and in the only other copy ever
seen by me, the body appears to have a twisl, wh. may account for the
bruise on its face.
"Which now, of these two, both print, early in 1644, was prior? Very
short time, only few hours prob. elaps. betw. them ; and further scrutiny
of the note to the Reader may be useful to aid the decision of that ques-
tion. The opening woi-ds are " meeting with this Book, newly come
forth of the Press;" and it is vpiy stiange, that no other man than
Thomas Weld is kn. to have ever seen such a supposed book, bef oi
since. Industry was most active, m that day of civil wai, to hunt up
every thing as soon as print. The eagei friend of King Chirles I in
London, whose assiduous attent to such iei\ furnislies one ot the most
curious and complete assortment of treasures in the British Museum,
contain, near, thirty thousand pieces and tracts, bound in over two
thousand vols, in the order of success, dates betw. 1640 and 1660, must
be inq. of whelhei- this be one book or two. Now in that vast collect,
this tract stands with only the tit. Short Story, &c obtain, by the book
collector 19 Feb, 1643, and no such work as " Antlnomians and Familists
condemn." &c. is nam. Next, in reference to tbe point of priority,
should be weigh, what is told in that note to the Reader, as to the
names of some that acted in our troubles, wh. the writer says "are
already ia print, without any act of mine," Bat we are left uncertain,
whefher that print without his act means (as seems fairly to follow) in
tlie Book newly come forth. Unless it may be shown, tliat such print,
of the names caa be found elsewhere than in Short Story, bef the issue
of Antinomians and Familists condemn, it may well be thought this
addr. to the reader is only a subterfuge. Such evidence it may be hard
to find; yet no other man than Weld can be nam. wh. would in London
be so deeply engag. in such cause. But what motive had Weld to make
such a statement? To this question, a reasonable reply is, that he
might fear prosecution for libels by one or another. Friends of the
pai-ties implicat. must have been numerous eno. in London; for tho.
Gov. Cradock, Sir Richai-d Saltonstall, Sir Brj'an Jansen, treas. Har-
wood, Alderm. Andrews, Col, Yen and others, may have been impartial,
Sir H. Vane would, of course, sympathize with Cotton, Wheelwright,
and the majority of his fellow- worship, in Boston ch. Mr. Hutchinson
also had a br. there, wh. had liv. here, was of high esteem and large
property, and beside others of the Antinom. party, Coggeshall was a man
of influence in Boston, and Aspinwall a ready writer, both able to com-
mand friends in the great city ; while Wheelwright, s. of one of the

priiicii). suffer, was able to issue tlie very nest jr. in "Mr. Weld's iiia
Antitype" observat. on "a paper styled a Short Story of the Eiae,
Reign," &c. Even without suppos. any unworthy fear in him that
prompt, what he wish, to have consid. as a sec. ed. of a Book bef.
issued by auo. person, and that, as he says, " the necessity of the times
caU for it, and its requisite that God's great works should be made
inown," he might deceive himself into the hope, that " Antinomians and
Familists condemn." tho. issued by the same publisher, the same yr. if
pMblish. without preface, would be talien to be a different composure
from Short Story, with a preface one quarter as large as the whole work.
Well might he believe, that iu those stirring times of extreme convul-
sion and civil war, nobody would have the leisure and take the ti-ouhle
to ascertain, that his publicat. was indeed two faces under one hood.
Next may our scrutiny be applied to his excuse of "being earnestly
pressed by divers to perfect" the work, "by laying down the oi-der and
sense of this sUay." Perhaps any other man, with half as much literary
skill as T. W. would have giv. a very differ, okdee to his material, at
least so far as chronology is concerned. If he did not print the Apology
for the Gen. Ct. of Mar. 16S6-7, begin, p. 46 before the result of the
Synod 30 Aug. — 22 Sept. foil. wh. begins on p. 1, he would naturally
(unless blinded by a sti-ong sensibility) have giv. it plaee prior to the
proced. of not merely a later sess. of the same, but of ano. Gen. Ct. in
Nov. 1637, wh. begins on p. 21. See our Col. Eec. I. 187 to 20S.
What good reason for breach of siich natural sequence of time can be con-
jectur. I see not, nor is it necessary to think of a lad one ; especial, as in
putting all the matter bef p 46, Jlr. Weld, the Editor, seems to have

other person) to think more of Mrs. Hutchinson than any thing else in
the long agony of the antinom. controv. In Nov. 1637 she was commit,

vexation at his ill success. This will explain to miWer natures, the
wondrous malediction with wh. he closes the Short Story. Still Ihe
suspicion ariseB, from the anxious reference to "laying down the order
and sense of the story," that the ill arrangement is due to design rather .
than accident. How else could occur the interrupt on p. 43, where the
parag. ends with the woi-ds " issue whereof is set down in the nest,"
when we ai-e unahle to find the next, and connect, thread for more than
fifteen pages onward, or a chasm of near one quarter of the surface of
the vol. Would not any ingenuous mind, on sec. reading, become sus-
picious at the appai-ent anxiety express, in that "addr. to the Reader"
(whether spring, from fear or ill-will), lest the writer of the long preface,
might be thot. to have had too intimate connex, with the production of
the ensumg short slory? Words are liable to misapprehens. we all
know, from carelessness or ignor. of him who uses them; but especially
when equivocal, is resolv. on ; and in writiug much move than in oral
speech, we wish for precision, not ambiguity. Yet an authoi^'s idea may
be mistaken when he intended to be punctiliously precise, tho. less fre-
quent, than if he be habitual, careless. His words convey sometimes
More, at others less than he intend. Of course two readers may obt^
from the same words quite dissimilar impressions, A recent example
will illusfrate. In note 1, on p. 238 of Winth. I. my first ed. 1825, 1 had
printed this remark. " The work has not, I presume, been often quoted
within a century." Of course the same words stand in the next ed.
1853. Citing this passage, the writer, cai'eless or over cautious, of the
review in Geneal. Reg. 1854, adds, " and yet we know that it has been
very often quoted within a quarter of a century." On cursory perusal,
this may, in one man's opin. seem a eontradiction ; while a slower reader
would perhaps give it a very differ, name. If the two readei-s call for
solution of the oracular ambiguity of the writer, prob. a short minute's
explanat. would make their judgments agree.
Now to conclude the point of priority of issue — the fictitious title-
page " Autinom. and Fam, condemn. " assum. in Geneal. Eeg. to be
"no doubt a printer's error," as if by fortuifous concourse of atoms, it
fell into tliat place, I had presum. to be unique, having only heard of the
single copy in the Coll. Libr. I have gain, recent knowl. of ano. copy
in the collection of Kev. Dr. Choules, since his d. together witJi his copy
of Short Story, dispers. by auction. Whatever value, more or less, was
then due to my infer, from the Coli. copy, as a device to cover Weld's
connect, with the Book, is of course doubled, and proportional, weaken,
is the asaumpt, that it was " no doubt printer's error." Evidence posi-
tive, is, also, obtain, that the Choules copy of Short Story, with the noie
to Reader, Preface, and P. S. and ano. own. by Col. Aspinwall, which-

«vcr of the two were first efi-uok ofF, came both from the press bef. the
delusive publieat. of the same work under the title of " Antiaomiaus,"
i&c. WITHOUT the maliguant preface. The testimony is iudubila. it
appeals to Ihe eye ; and tho. the form of ea. of the 66 pages in all the
copies is iiaehanged, slight' correct, of errors in the earlier ones are
traced clearly in the later. For instance, the sig. of p. 1 of Short Story,
in the copies of Aspinwall aod Choules, is C. 2; — of p. 3 is C. 3, and
so onward to p. 65 wh. is L. 2, whereas the two copies of Coll. and
Choules of the same work, under the new title without Preface, begin,
(as does ihe Athenreum copy with the Preface and old title) with B. for
sig. of p. 1, and so proced. to p. 65 wh. is K "Will any sagacious ob-
server doubt about priority ? Each of the copies, of so great rarity, has
worth of its own ; and that of our Athenseam, tho, wanting the four last
pages, derives high value ft-om the notes in sev. places, writ, by Thomas
Prince above one hundred and twenty yrs. since, especiaOy his testimon.
on the title-page, " Preface and conclusion by Thomas Welde." This is
the well-kn. handwrit, of the Annalist. My presumpt. is that this iden-
tical tract was once his, for in his own catal. he inserts, in its proper
place, "T. Welde's Short SI017, &c. London 1644," and it is nol now
found in his N. E. libi-ary,
A very valua. copy of the nnmutilat. work, own. by Charles Deane,
concurs with the Coil, copy depriv. of its Prefece, and issued under the
new name, in every word and letter, monk or friar, or other iiTCgulariij,
like the imperfect copy of the Athenseum, exc, as bef. explain, in the
changed place of a single word, slighted, on p. 62, that requir. no edito-
rial cunning, but must have been done by a compositor. Will any one
doubt that Mr. Deane's copy (after tho Preface, wh. is not seen in the
Coll. copy) was sti-uck off from tlie same forms as that, when he com-
pai'es not pages merely, but words, and even letters in each, as on p. 12,

meration, or p. 4, the strange initial of Confutation 19, or asks, without

and similar, also, is the use or non-use of the double e in be, he, me, she.

ensuing twenty-seven times it is ejected ; fourteen times nest i'oliow. is
bless, with w; and lastly No. 81 ia written with five letters, and No. 82
with six ; while in every one of them Mr, Deane's copy of Short Story
agrees. More striking is this conformity, because apparently earlier
copies vary much in s«ch petty particulars. The soKiary, abnormal E,
in Mr. Dean's eopy. Error 65, changes places with Gol. Aspiowall's E.
in Error 72, and so no complaint of partiality can arise.
Still, it may be said, the identity of Deane's " Short Story " with
Coll. "Antinomians and Familists" being established, nothing is yet
clearly shown to prove, wh. first came from the press, but only that,
whichever was first, the other follow, very soon, perhaps in few hra. or
even minutes. Now by comparing with Deane's copy (that has the
preface) that of Aspinwall (wh. is equally complete) it may easily be
seen that A's. is several hours, or even days, earlier in its issue. But
bef taking up the preface, whei-e the diversity is greater, let the curious
student look at two or three small points in the hodp of the work, wh. is
identical in substance, and seeming, in letter also, with the Coll. tract
that wants the preface. On p. 1 in the Confiitat. 4 and 5, the citation
from the prophet Isaiah viii. 20, in A's. copy writ. Esa, in D's. and Coll.
copies becomes May; p. 2, under En-or 8, Corinth, in A's. copy, is prop-
erly shortened in the other two to Cor. — p. 3, line 5, true (in the brack-
ets) is changed from Italic, as it is m A's. copy, into Roman letters to
conform with other Koman letters in the same passage of the other
copies; p. 21, in the blunder of date of the term of Court (wh. could
not have been mistak. by Gov. Winth.) October in A's. copy is abbrev.
in the others to Oetob. Weld in London wrote the wrong mo. P. 33 in
two places, A's. copy has Hutchinson, but in seventeen other places the
name is Hutchison, without n in sec. syl. while the other copies give the

formably to thereat of the page and thecal W ot A isieduced in these
to a small letter and othei examples ibund'tntly serve to prove, that

crowds ano. e bef. i in the last word. May I not suggest, with becoming
modesty, that tbe better copy is the later ?
Tet more direct is the evidence (to the same point) derived from
what printers call overrunning or spacing out, to improve the appear-
ance of a line or a page. Several such I pass by in the first fifteen
pages, as also woi-ds chaag. from Italic to Koman letters, but on 16th p.
the top line of Aspinwall's copy contains at the end the citat. " Acts 15 ;
9," wh. is made the whole of sec. line in the others. Then to equalize
the number of lines iu the respective pages, the last line of A's. copy
becomes first of p. 17 in the others. Many more might be quoted, but
beside that it would be tiresome to do it, the great evidence of unlike-
ness of beginning and ending of lines, without changing word or letter,
exe. in space, is found in the preface. Let the inti-oduct. note to the
Header, sixteen lines in A's, seventeen in D's. copy, be compai'. in the
two books % %7K^ one alongside of the other, and the same heavy mass
of ornament at the top of the page is seen,— as well as the beautiful
decoration aiound the big L with wh. Weld opens in ea. — the types
are the same m every letter, exc that "straiie of time" in A's. copy
gains one lefter in D's. by spelL "straight." Yet, altho. the initials

wall's IS deficient in Deane's ; so also A. 3 on the p. next but one of A.

that is the last, eigliteeo linea, inclus. of the previous siguat. T. Welde,
closing the preface, run over from the foot of Aspinwaira page, and
spread upon the upper middle of Deane'a. MotLing else is seen lo
change betw. Aspiowall's and Deane's beyond the trifling amendm. that
a compositor natm-ally introduces, such as substituting " and " for &, and
redtic. the author's name from Eoman caps, to Italic in conformity with
the pveced. type. Deane's is the more correct exemplar, but Aepinwall'B
for its very incorrectness ten times more valuable in petty history.
"Will any one but Mr. Drake believe, that all this succession of ap-
pearances proves nothing to sti'engthen into certmnty my conject. how
Weld desired lo supply a shield for his temerity, or a cover for his cow-
ardice ? — that the long title-page of " Short Story " was not print, bef.
" Antinomians and Familists " was writ. ? — that this new title for the
same book instead of a "printer's error" sprang not from design and
intent to mystify ? — or that it is wrong in me, at this late day, to expose
such a typograph. curiosity? Would any London printer in 1644, I
dare to ask, after having a corrected copy of a work, as Antinomians
and Familisis (if printed first) is shown to be, immediately after issue,
from the same fomis, an impression of Rise, Eeign, and Kuin, with a
copious preface and address to the Eeader, and postscript, containing
many eri-ors and obliquities of type (in the bodz of same work) as
Aspinwall's and Choules's copies exhibit? Two questions natural, arise
to embarrass those that would glad, seem believers of Weld's ingenuous-
ness,—first, wh. was corrector of.the press that oblain. aft. three or four
trials, as pure a text for " Short Story," as was enjoy, by " Antinomians
and Familists," if iMs tract were print, bef. that, when both tracts are
tak, from the same types lock, up into the same form at last, when
" Antinomians and Familists " agree wholly with the latest impression of
the Short Story? — sec. who gave Thomas Weld the right to put a
preface equal to one fourth of the tractate, with an address to the
Eeader, beside "laying down the order and sense wh, in the book is
[was} omit," "as also additions to the conclusion of the book?" He
prob. utter, indirect suggestions, ambiguas spargere voces, that the orig.
work was above six yrs. bef. concoct, in Boston, where Winth. was in
the chair of Gov. when Short Story was purch. in London by the
King's purveyor, perhaps in few hours from its issue, and where I doubt
not the publisher of Antinomians and FAinLiSTS had act. as the
Editor of what, on our side of the water, when forgotten on the other,
was down to 1843, always called Weld's Eise, Eeign, and Ruin.
As to any moral delinquency in my regard " to the memory of Mr.
Welde," that may be left in silence, without fear, to any human tri-
bunal ; but in the Court of criticism, I can kiss the rod cheerfully, and

the Pequots, they hav long been hostile, and the proportion of 90 men
fixed for the se^ phnta via Hartford, 42, Windsor, 30, and Wethers-

ds. Mary, wh. d bef her f prob. unm. Ann, and Sarah ; equal, uncert.
is the name of his w. though we can hardly dowht whether he brot. one ;
and sti-anger still is the uncertainty of his prior resid. in Mass. He had
good proportion of the patents for Swampscot and Dover, wh. he sold
Aug. 1648, to Christopher Lawson. We may then safely conclude, that
a person of his educ. and good est. had not come o?er the water bef.
1636, and that he staid so short a time at Boston or Cambridge as to
leave no trace of hims. at either, and he was estab. at Hartfoi-d bef.
Gov. Haynes left Cambridge. There is, indeed, a very precise tradit.
of his coming, with f. Nathaniel, in the fleet with Higginson, 1629, to
Salem; but that is merely ridiculous. He took, for sec. w. a. 1645,
Eliz. wid. of Nathaniel Foote of Wethersfield ; on the d. of Gov. Haynes,
1 Mar. 1654, the Depf. Edward Hopkins being in Eng. on pub. busi-
ness, he was made head of the Col. with title of Moderator, but on the
day of elect, in May, Hopkins was chos. Gov. and Welles Dept. tho. H.
never came back to Conn, being tak. by the great Protector into hia
Farliam. so that in 1655, hav. had the duty to fulfil in the vacation of
the chair, he was chos. Gov. and Webster, Dept and in 1666, accord, to
the constitut. of the Col. " that no person be chos. Gov. above once in
two yrs." Webster was made Gov. and in 1657, Winthrop Gov. while
Welles was Dept. both yrs. and in 1658 made Gov. again with Winth.

Bor should I refer to so unimport. a fact, were it not to save trouble to

1719 or 20, aged a, 104. It would have been strange, if more than one
myth had not sprung out of his grave. My firet exercise of caution
would be to examine the means of reducing his yrs. by 20 or near, for

aged 12 yrs and othera of the ch. came in 1641, may deserve a partial
credence beyond what such evidence gains usually from the judicious.
Prob. conject. is that, beside Abijah and Zechariah, and Hannah, Judith,
also, and Elh. were b. on this side of the water ; but the order, in wh.
names of ch. occur in a will, is not always sufficient guide to determine

other part, only that one of his ds. Abigail was a, 1658, see. w. of
Thomas Bill. Other ds. are Lydia Nowell ; Joanna Ellis ; and beside
the darkness that hangs upon gr.g. Michael and gr.d. Marab, tho. we
may guess the former to be s. of Experience, suffic. trouble would
remain in the search for " daur. Pollard's childr." yet the difflc. seems
inestrica. when we find that beyond the thick clouds wherein we would
hunt for the ds. of her h. she scatters all hope of success, by speaking of
her " five own As." So tlie only safe conclus. is that she was a young
wid. with five ds. when Michael took her ; but perhaps the ds. m. that
he refers to in his will, may have been, some at least, not his offspr. but
those of the sec. w. bef. their union. Michael, Boston, s. of the

must not be neglect, here. In § 19 of that 3d chap, in proof of the
" certain pi-ophetic afflatus, wli. oft. directs the speeches of" men like
Wilson, he refers to the success of John Hull, as foretold by W. bee of
his attention to his mother " weak ,in body and poor in est." Mather
had no intent, of casting ridicule upon prophecy, for he was giv. to
showing his ability in the same way, but his fancy, as usual, outran his
judgment ; and his memory, great as it was, forever calls on invention to
come to the aid of truth. Hull's mo. Eliz. wh. d. above 16 yrs. bef. M.

to theoiy is observ. in other authors than hiin whose Magnalia is the
inonum. to delineate his character no less than his desire, tho. prob. to
few it is ascrib. in equal extent. J^ohjv, Medfield, s. of the preced. b. in

Oliver, from Bridgetown, Eng. Farmer says, was cast away at the Isle

A mistake in geogr. of this sort, is not lightly to be imput. to the latter
of these writers, and still less to the former ; but it can hardly be doubt-
that he sbould have writ. Barbadoea instead of Eng. for Bridgetown is
the chief mart of that island, and no place of the name is found in
Britain. It is almost equal to that of the writer in Geneal. Eeg. VIII.
86, wh. would correct the descript. of the bark Bachelor from London,
of thirty-five tons, giv. by "Winth. in hia Hist. I. 173, .to the bark in wh.
Lion Gardiner came, 1635, when the Gov. aa in his orig. MS. any one
aeea, calls her " a small Norsey bark," meaning a Norwegian built, as to
me it seemed, while by the writer it is shown, that one of the patentees
of Coon. wh. fitted out this hark dwelt at Nosely, Leicestershire, in the
very centre of Eng. Whether the Bachelor could float in any of the
rivulets of the est. of Noaely, that may be thot. not to be deeper than
three or four inches, or in the head waters of the Avon, or the Wel-
land, beside those of the Soar, and a dozen infei-ior, young tributaries
of the Trent, springing in Leicestershire, that may be half as many
feet in depth, was not perhaps seriously consid. by the author. No

author of New Englaad's Prospect, London 1634, may well be thot. that
freem. of 18 May 1631 ; hut more prob. is it, that he was sett, at Lynn,

Tale, David, Boston, came proh. with his f.-in-law. Gov. Eiifon, in
1637, by w, Ursula (perhaps brot. from Wales, where was the home of
his f. David, yet more prob. that he toolt her in Boston, iho. we kn. not
her f.) had Eliz. b. May 1644, d. in few mks. ; David, 18 Sept. 1645 ;
Theophilus, 14 Jan. 1652, and soon ail. rem. perhaps home to Eng.
He own. some Id. at Kew Haven, and may have liv. there Iwo or three
yrs. and even have had Joseph there, as on p. 24 of the "Yale fam." is
presum. tho. to me it seems not prob. How Farmer was led to make
him fi'eem. 1640, is strange, for his name is not on the list, nor was he a
mem. of the ch. of B. but he sjmpafhiz. with the oppon. of our com-
mun. wh. prob. indue, liim to abandon our country. Gov. Hopkins wh.
had m. his sis. Ann, in bis will, made at London, 17 Mar. 1657, left
him £200. Elihu, New Haven, s. of tlie first Thomas, as Dr. Stiles
positively says, tho. in more recent times, some at New Haven have
doubted it, and offer very good presumpt. that he was s. of David, quot
the entry of the Merch. Taylor's sch. in London, where he was adm. 1
Sept. 1662, went home in his youth, and a. 1678, proceed, to the E.
Indies, there resid. twenty yrs. and went home with large est. and three
ds. two of wh. m, into noble fams. and he d. in London, 22 July 1721.
His monum, is at Wrexham, in Co, Denbigh, bordering on Cheshire.
The assid. antiquaiy, K B. ShurtlefP, in Geneal. Eeg. IV. 245, in a
brief, but comprehens. notice, slightly varying from Stiles, that is giv.
in note to Winth. II. 2!7, shows how he was Gov. of tlie E. I. cooip.
and by his munificent legacy gain, the endur. credit, of founder of the
flourish, instit. of Tale College in his native city. John, New Haven,
eldest s. of Thomas of the same, is in the list of proprs. 1685, and that
was all that could be seen of him bef. the appear, of the Geneal. 1850,
by a descend, of the same ancest. In that tract we learn, that, by w.
Rebecca, whose surname is not told, he had John, b. 3 June 1694, when
